After all the struggle lately, Manish found time to just relax. Do what he did best, find a spot in the sun next to a pond, throw in a fishing line, and do nothing. He even made sure to leave Ryan and Lucy and Cereal and Narrator and, well, okay once he thought about it most of his pokemon were menaces who were bent on making his life more complicated. But not this time! The only pokemon he let come with him was Olek. He just hatched, how much of a problem could he really be? Manish was actively choosing to not think about Cereal or Egg. So far things were going well, Manish was dozing in the sun and Olek was wandering around the clearing in the grove; close enough that Manish didn’t worry about him wandering off or getting lost. Eventually, though, Olek grew bored and waddled over to Manish’s head and kicked at one of the mushrooms that started to grow in a ring around him. <If I turn into one of your weird mushrooms I’m gonna throw a fit.> Manish cracked open an eye and started at Olek. “Um, I don’t uh, I don’t think that will happen? I mean, uh, well, it hasn’t happened to anyone else?” Olek scoffed. <Have you seen Ryan? Dude is growing way more mushrooms than is normal.> “Oh. Huh. I’ve never seen another uh, one of him? Before? So I uh, I didn’t know?” He was starting to feel bad. Was Ryan really extra mushroomy because of him? <Yeah dude, like, I’m already predisposed to fungi stuff when I evolve. If you make it worse, I’ll throw hands.> Manish stared down at Olek’s body and the lack of hands on said body.

He really didn’t think he was good at fishing, how did he always manage to catch something? Manish shot a glance over to Olek. “Do you uh, want to throw um…hands? At a pokemon? It’s totally okay if not! There’s uh, no pressure.” Olek stared blankly at him for a moment before looking at the Magikarp Manish somehow managed to pull up. <Yeah, sure, I guess. Do you ask everyone if they want to fight, or am I just special?> “Oh! I ask everyone? I mean, it’s just, like, it would be rude of me to uh, to assume?” <You’re a weird one, mushroom man. But sure, let’s beat up a fish.> “Great! Or well, I mean, not great on the uh, the violence part? But on the, you know, um. Yeah. Okay, anyway, Acid? What’s that?” Olek faced Magikarp and rolled his little eyes. <This.> He summoned up the poison inside of his body and spat it at his target.

He was really sensing a trend with these poison attacks; they were all, well, rather poisonous and that didn’t seem real nice. “Oh jeez, is that, like, oh man. Does that hurt them? Oh no, it’s skin is sizzling from the poison. I’m gonna be sick. Oh jeez.” Manish had to take a moment to gag at the thought. Olek stared at Manish. <My guy, my dude, we’re literally fighting. Like, do all your other pokemon just hug them into submission or something?> That froze Manish. “Wait. No, I mean, oh. Wait. Does it always hurt them? Like, I know that it uh, is like, oh jeez, damaging? But do they uh, do they feel pain?” <You take this weirdly seriously, my dude. Chill. It’s not a big deal. Look, if it makes you feel better, yeah it hurts, but it’s fine. Especially since you already asked if we’re willing to fight. We consent to the pain or whatever. Oh ew, that sounded gross. But still.> Manish let out a sigh. “So it’s okay? I mean, I still, uh, that still looks extra painful? But I mean, I guess if you’re sure then it’s okay. But uh, I still um, let’s not use a poison attack for a moment. I don’t think I can handle that right now. How about Absorb? That doesn’t sound too awful.” Olek snorted, <yeah sure, sucking the life force out of another pokemon and using it for myself is totally less weird.> “Wait, what?” But Manish’s words were ignored as Olek attacked again.

That was horrifying? Yeah, yeah that was horrifying. I don’t think I really want to consider the ethics of sucking the uh, the life force out of someone to um, you know, make yourself stronger.” Manish said as he walked over to the knocked out Magikarp and gave it a soft poke with his toe to make sure it was really out. Yep. No movement. He started to dig through his pockets for an empty pokeball. <Is it really that big of a deal? I mean, as long as you don’t kill them, it’s basically what babies do.> Olek wandered by to go hangout in a sunbeam, unaware of the mental damage he just inflicted on the frozen Manish. “That’s…wait no that’s not. But it. That can’t be right, right?” <I’m telling you, mushroom boy, that’s exactly what it is.> There was a creeping horror as Manish rethought everything he thought he knew about babies. “Oh jeez. That’s. Oh no.” He finally finds a pokeball and taps it on the Magikarp. “I don’t even know how to begin to unpack that.”
